Donald Trump Jr., the son of the U.S. president, has come to the defense of British comedian and actor Russell Brand, who was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison for rape and sexual assault. According to Trump Jr., the entertainer has become a victim of a “two-tiered justice system,” and the legal proceedings against him were politically motivated.

On Monday, a British court sentenced Brand after a jury found him guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women. However, the comedian was acquitted of two other rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault.

The 48-year-old Trump Jr. devoted a monologue to the case on his popular Rumble show, introducing it with the headline “The UK’s Two-Tiered Justice System Exposed.”

The president’s son questioned the prosecution’s evidence and suggested that Brand was being targeted because of his Christian faith and conservative political views.

“He was found guilty despite there being no forensic evidence, no DNA, and no police report filed at the time of the alleged crime. We’re talking about allegations that go back decades, starting in 1999,” Trump Jr. said.

He also brought up Brand’s marriage to singer Katy Perry, suggesting that no similar accusations had been made against the comedian when he was one of the biggest stars in the global entertainment industry.

However, the 1999 incident cited by Trump Jr. was actually one of the allegations on which Brand was acquitted. It involved an alleged rape in a hotel room in Bournemouth during a Labour Party conference.

The rape charge on which the comedian was convicted involved a 21-year-old fan. According to the prosecution, Brand met her backstage after one of his comedy performances in west London in 2009 and subsequently raped her at his home. The incident took place approximately a year before his wedding to Katy Perry.

Trump Jr. was not the only public figure to defend the comedian. On Monday, television host Megyn Kelly also criticized the sentence on her SiriusXM show, describing the case as a “political witch hunt against Russell Brand.”

Kelly, who had invited Brand onto her program in April while he was awaiting trial, said she did not believe the allegations against him. She also characterized the proven offenses as essentially involving unwanted touching and kissing.

Trump Jr. had defended Brand before: he spoke out in his support back in 2023, following the emergence of the first allegations.

After the sentence was announced, the actor’s father, Ronald Brand, told reporters outside the courthouse that the women who accused his son had allegedly pursued him and sought his attention. He also questioned the impartiality of the jury.

Meanwhile, London police said on Tuesday that, following the verdict, additional people had come forward willing to provide information or report possible offenses involving Brand.

At the end of his monologue, Trump Jr. questioned why the comedian had received a longer prison sentence than some men convicted in cases involving so-called grooming gangs in the UK.
